It turns out I won the contest for great new teaching ideas. Really, I won. What did I win? I knew I had a "gift basket" coming, and sure enough, there it was: a ceramic, student-made brown folk-art style piece that could look like a very small trash can if one were to be cruel, but I think it's really quite cool. What was in it, you ask? A water bottle. I'm not shocked. I am only disappointed by my delusions of grandeur. The basket was the gift, numskull...
I did get the check for $300. I will use this to take my family to dinner and to pay off some credit card bills. Tonight I go to a community meal for the entire Social Sciences Division of our college. Potatoes and soup. Then I go see my wife at a restaurant, then home to watch movies. Of all these things I do today, I think dinner with Liz will be my finest hour.
